Yes, but they more or less explicitly state that it's charity work:
Description:
Spend a year as VISTA, (this is something like joining the peace
corps) and write perl scripts for non profit organizations.
Am I being naive, or isn't the whole point of non-profit / charity work
to be willing to accept a pay cut in return for doing Good Things?
My assumption is that people working for organizations like Greenpeace,
Medecins Sans Frontiers [sp?], etc aren't in it for the money.
I know absolutely nothing about this Vista program, but I wasn't
surprised to see a non-profit being up-front about a low salary.
